Stars [Live (1987/Vine St. Bar & Grill)]

歌词
Stars, they come and go, they come fast they come slow
漫天繁星,踯躅,奔走
They go like the last light of the sun, all in a blaze
如余晖渐渐在夜空中燃烧得粉碎
And all you see is glory
浩瀚无垠
But it gets lonely there when there's no one there to share
但纵有旷世奇观,如无一人分享,终归泡影
You can shake it away, if you'll hear a story
不要在意,故事值得继续
People lust for fame like athletes in a game
蜉蠡众生,计功谋利,争先恐后
They break out collarbones and come up swinging
思虑营营,只为飞黄腾达之日
Some of them are downed
有人挣扎沉沦
Some of them are crowned
有人壮志得酬
Some are lost and never found
有人葬身洪流
But most have seen it all
但大多人经历且旁观了这一切
They live their lives in sad cafes and music halls
在苦涩的咖啡和颓废的音符中度过余生
And they always have a story
他们总是不忘吟唱
Some make it when they're young
一些人在未被世俗染指之前
Before the world has done its dirty job
趁年少功成名就
And later on someone will say
日后人们会对他说
"You've had your day, now you must make way"
“你的时代已经过去,现在你必须让路”
But they'll never know the pain of living with a name you never owned
但他们不会了解心为名役的痛苦
Or the years forgetting what you know too well
也许多年之后你会忘记昔日座右铭言
That you gave the crown have been let down
接受鲜花,亦要拥抱谩骂
You try to make amends without defending
你尝试去补救,却没有留下退路
Perhaps pretending you never saw the eyes of young men in twenty-five
那群年轻人会追着索求签名
Who follow as you walk and ask for autographs
或者用毫无爱意却充满狂热的吻涌向你的面颊
And kiss you on the cheek and you never really could believe they really loved you
也许你要假装从未看到他们的眼睛
Some make it when they're old
但这些仍会让他们在老时不能忘却
(Perhaps they have a soul they're not afraid to bare or perhaps there's nothing there)
也许他们有一颗无惧暴露的灵魂,抑或本身即是空壳
But anyway, that isn't really what I meant to say
但无论如何,这不是我真正想说的
I meant to tell a story, that I live from day to day
我本来打算讲个故事,算了,终于还是忘了
Stars, they come and go, they come fast they come slow
漫天繁星,泛起晕的尘埃
They go like the last light of the sun, all in a blaze
余晖的灰烬散去,唯留舍利镶嵌苍穹
And you always all you see is glory
玢玦绘梦
But if you don't mind being patience with my fumbling around
所以,不要失去耐心,和我一起探寻吧
I'll come up singing for you, even though I'm down
我会为你歌唱,即使陨落飘零
